brains why do they seriously

so I want to be reading things

specifically at the moment I want to be reading Rebecca Lynn Scott's A Study in Tarot (now that the mobi I got from putting the epub through calibre has finally deigned to permit itself to be downloaded onto my Kindle Fire)

but like there's a bunch of Sarah Kate Istra Winter I am planning to review, and Walter Burkert that I need to take notes on, and five hundred nonfiction books I own and haven't opened

to say nothing of fiction or poetry

and seriously

why is this something I am fighting with

why

remember in high school I read HP 1–5 easily a hundred times apiece and was devouring books on all subjects by the dozens

(no subject)

My laptop is sending up distress signals. Whirring louder and faster, and it's HOT. I'm gonna shut it down for a while, and everyone hope this isn't indicating I need to replace it soon!

I don't think I've used this laptop as heavily as the past several days at any time in its whole preceding life!
